No no that's not what I meant :-)

A long time ago I played around with the Darwin Streaming Server from 
Apple and vaguely recall the mechanism used to call up the .mov files in 
an html page.

I was more referring to either a jscript or php snippet that would allow 
for the embed.... just something quick and easy. No biggie though!

I personally don't intend to, the only knowledge I need is what I kinda 
have already but would be nice to know the above (jscript or php) too......


Regards,


Kaya
